legislators there, who have taken up
the gauge of battle and, rather than
suffer defeat, will die with harness on
their backs, in defense Of the rights Of
the people; and before Iahck,
Parish & Co. are through with the
fight they win wish they had not

lation. The House which, in a spirit
of economy, passed the bill repeating

The House holds the purse strings;
st IS there that appropriation bills
must originate, and without money
appropriated to pay useless office

Mart says the House is on its car,

tendeat of Public Instruction viii be
abolished, the pay of the Secretary
cut down from 5000 to $500 per
year (which latter it seems win be

Mart does not say so, it is fair TO pre-
sumo that the House Will also wing
the Commissioner of Immigration, by
refusing to vots an appropriation for

The Citizen informs us that the
Govsrnor's economy has reduced the
legislature to the necessity Of forego-
ing a journal of proceedings. The
inmates are simply written in pencil,
rolled up and chuoked into a pigeon
hole.
The Star correspondent says, "the
legislature have no clerks, but a kind
and condescsnding Secretary Of the
Territory offered to send up one or
two Of his clerks to help the Legislature

Economy? no, not one member knows

stances honest legislators should bo
firm in their opposition to Now Jersey |
dictation, and If thsy are not, but
blindly follow the blind, then they
will be politically ditched, and while
that is the case it will not be Repub-
iicans who suffer in public estimation,
for the reason that representatives of
that party in the legislature are out
numbered by Democrats by more
than two to one, or &c Democrats 10
10 Republicans. And it viii not do
to forget that there will be day Of
reckoning with constituents who may
be expected TO be most exacting.
